Re: Date::Manip ParseRecur help needed

A solution using the, core since 5.10, Time::Piece module and its associated Time::Seconds for date arithmetic. I accept the strftime() default format for brevity but you could craft the output any way you like.

johngg@shiraz:~/perl/Monks$ perl -Mstrict -Mwarnings -MTime::Piece -MT
+ime::Seconds -E '
my $ffJan = Time::Piece->strptime( q{2020/01/01}, q{%Y/%m/%d} );
$ffJan   += ONE_DAY for 1 .. 5 - $ffJan->day_of_week();

my $end   = Time::Piece->strptime( q{2020/06/01}, q{%Y/%m/%d} );

while ( $ffJan->epoch() < $end->epoch() )
{
    say $ffJan->strftime();
    $ffJan += ONE_WEEK;
}'

I hope this is helpful.

Update: It makes more sense to calculate the cut-off epoch once at the start rather than every loop.

johngg@shiraz:~/perl/Monks$ perl -Mstrict -Mwarnings -MTime::Piece -MT
+ime::Seconds -E '
my $endEpoch = Time::Piece->strptime( q{2020/06/01}, q{%Y/%m/%d} )->ep
+och();

my $ffJan = Time::Piece->strptime( q{2020/01/01}, q{%Y/%m/%d} );
$ffJan   += ONE_DAY for 1 .. 5 - $ffJan->day_of_week();

while ( $ffJan->epoch() < $endEpoch )
{
    say $ffJan->strftime();
    $ffJan += ONE_WEEK;
}'
